      Agreed! Loading the site resulted in about 10 second of actual confusion. Hilarious!

          For historical context, here is what Lobsters looks like today, on April 1, 2013: home page, story discussion page. Compare to the normal home page, as seen on April 2 (which arrived right after this comment was first posted).

            I was pretty worried when I first loaded the page. Looks like jcs has made a big money exit though. Just saying.

              Even freakier, I open lobsters on my phone and saw a responsive HN. I think my head just exploded. Well played.

                Also, this would have been hilarious with a Tell HN: … tag :P
